Dr. Jozefowicz is a great professor, one of the best ones i have had at IUP he tells you exactly what will be on the quizzes. If you don't understand something he will go over it again and again until you understand. Tells jokes all the time, and uses good examples to help you understand the material in class. One Extra credit opportunity.

Dr. J is by far the best professor I have ever had. Treats class seriously. Uses examples from his personal life, which makes class hysterical. He will make you actually want to attend class! Clearly explains materials in ways where you won't have to study as hard because you got it right there in class! Drops lowest 3 quiz grades.

Dr. J was the man! He basically told you everything you needed to know during lecture. His final was indeed cumulative, but if you knew you material it was cake. Also Jim has 15 points of extra credit, but you had to work for it. Attendance wasn't mandatory, so as is tradition I skipped every Friday. I got a very high B in the class.

Dr. Jozefowicz is an amazing Economics professor. When I think back on his class, I just think about how excited I was to go everyday. He makes Economics so much fun to learn, & he made difficult concepts easy to understand. Such an approachable guy, too.
